A dinner party gone awry. Two butchered victims. Four suspects.

Art dealer Benedict Belford and artist Simonne Turner are found in a pool of blood at his country house, their throats slashed and their bodies mutilated.

The investigation plunges Chief Inspector George Alcott into Benedict's extravagant life. A hidden world of stylish women and lewd get-togethers soon comes to light, yet no one seems to have a motive for the vicious murders—not the art-gallery owner or the lecturer in German literature, nor the suspense writer and her crabby husband.

But is Alcott prepared when the case takes a shocking turn and the last piece of the puzzle falls into place?

Dog Days, Crazed Blood is a novella full of mystery, ambiguity, and deception.
